First look at new Bridgepoint Hospital opening in June

Ontario, Health minister Deb Matthews, along with local media got their first look Wednesday at Bridgepoint Hospital, a $60 million health facility built on the site of the former Don Jail. To be officially opened in June, the hospital is targeted towards patients living with chronic disease and disability and “is the largest health care facility of its kind in Canada,” according to official press materials.

Key parts of the original pre-confederation Don Jail have been preserved by the redevelopment, which Bridgepoint officials dubbed as a move “from a site of incarceration to a site of innovation.”
